Miami Hurricanes' Jacory Harris honored by ACC again

University of Miami quarterback Jacory Harris was named Atlantic Coast Conference Offensive Back of the Week on Monday after leading the Hurricanes to a 33-17 victory against then-No. 14 Georgia Tech.

Harris also earned the honor after UM's victory at No. 18 Florida State.

The 6-4, 190-pound sophomore completed 20 of 25 passes for 270 yards and three touchdowns Thursday at Land Shark Stadium for a career-high 80 percent completion rate.

Miami Hurricanes aim to finally be king of (Chapel) Hill

The way North Carolina coach Butch Davis tells it, the 12th-ranked Miami Hurricanes are the best team in college football since, well, his No. 2 Hurricanes in 2000. That team finished 11-1 and achieved perfection the next year, when Davis already had departed for the NFL.

These Hurricanes know better.

Judging by their comments this week, the Canes insist on proving they can sustain excellence -- and win in Chapel Hill. Typical coach talk doesn't do it.

Wake QB Skinner is biggest hurdle for Miami Hurricanes

Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe promised quarterback Riley Skinner that he wouldn't scheme anything crazy Saturday against the Miami Hurricanes like he did last year at Dolphin Stadium.

He also promised his wife.

``I gotta tell you,'' Grobe said Wednesday. ``My wife Holly reminded me when I was coming in Monday morning not to lose my mind this week. She didn't really like my plan to run the football last year.''

For victorious Miami Hurricanes, the possibilities are endless

O RLANDO -- The game with the most immediate impact on the University of Miami's football season occurred inside UCF's stadium, nicknamed ``The Trampoline'' for the way the stands jiggle under the weight of 48,453 bouncing fans who turn the place into a clean-cut mosh pit.

Inside the stadium, the Hurricanes peeled apart the Knights' hopes of an upset with a methodical 27-7 victory.

What happened elsewhere Saturday had just as much implications for UM's future. It was another brain-teaser day in college football.

Duke quarterback has own Miami connection

T he best quarterback in the Atlantic Coast Conference born and raised in Miami might not be the Hurricanes' Jacory Harris.

The best receiving duo in the ACC born and raised in South Florida might not be Miami's Travis Benjamin and Leonard Hankerson.

Miami coach Randy Shannon prides himself on building the Hurricanes' program with homegrown talent, but there are probably a few people in Miami right now who are equally proud of three players who were overlooked by the Canes. It seems a little odd to be writing this, but three Miamians currently have the Duke Blue Devils in position to possibly win the ACC Coastal Division.
